Sandwiched between the Gothic Cathedral and the artsy El Born district, the Grand Central Hotel offers a unique blend of historic opulence and contemporary luxury design. It’s a building once famous for being the tallest in Europe, and one that housed the private rooftop apartment and gardens of Francesc Cambó, a legendary patron of Catalan culture in the nineteenth century.  You can glimpse its lush foliage above you while lounging at the rooftop terrace and pool – our first stop after checking in, naturally, which we were carted up to in a charming restored 1920s elevator. The infinity pool and views will make you feel reassuringly smug. It’s a smart, versatile set up, which means they maximise the use of the space throughout the day and it’s always got a nice vibe motoring along: think relaxing poolside coffee and lunch spot by day, bustling rooftop bar by night.  At the time of visiting, the new Can Bo restaurant was not yet open, however the rooftop bar menu was more than fine. The ground floor breakfast lounge has just enough options to cater for most tastes before tipping over into a gluttonous all-you-can-eat brunch. They even have breakfast cake, a move that got the gold seal of approval from my sweet-toothed partner.  The rooms are chic, spacious and recently refurbished in a really thoughtful mid-century modern execution. We stayed in the junior suite, which is a quietly spectacular space. Beautiful clean lines and stylish modern wood panelling create a cool and cl

An excellent example of how a place can help to breathe new life into a city neighbourhood, this hotel also offers comfort, style and sought-after extras like a rooftop terrace with a pool and panoramic views and a popular Sunday brunch. Owned by the Spanish Barceló chain, this hotel might have seemed a bit of a gamble when it was built in the late 2000s. The reason? Its location in the centre of El Raval neighbourhood, perhaps best described as a rough and ready area that tourists (and not a few locals) had previously tended to avoid. However, nowadays the barrio has undergone a notable but not totally suffocating gentrification process, and the hotel has much to commend it both in terms of local amenities and the Barceló Raval's own services. From your first sight of the building, a dark-coloured ellipsis with a metal mesh-like cover, to the moment you see the views of the city from its rooftop terrace, this is a place full of visual treats. Pops of strong colour, vibrant lighting, 360-degree panoramas of Barcelona… the list of memorable sensory experiences is long. There are three types of room, with the pricier ones being those with more floor space and better views, but they all share the big windows, technological touches and more than a nod to quality and comfort. One of the hotel’s biggest draws is its stunning rooftop, which includes a plunge pool and from where you feel as though you can see the whole city; while literally at the other end of the building, the B-Lou
